"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

to make this short I am looking for any advice from Hunters or gun lovers.

I haven't fired a gun in about ten years and only fired a rifle and pistol a few times then. So I have no experience.

I'm going with some friends next week to get some experience shooting skeet and maybe try my hand at deer hunting on a friend's land.

I'll be using a .270 if we go hunting, but have never shot one or loaded one. and an 870 Remington Express for shooting skeet.

Any advice on holding the gun, firing, or even loading?

I feel kind of left out because I've never done this before and I'm going to be with experienced guys that literally grew up in the woods. One is a professional hunter and the other a competition skeet shooter.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Don't be scared of the gun kicking. Everytime I've seen someone shoot for the first time (ever or in awhile) they wince before they pull the trigger like the recoil will hurt or something. The only thing it hurts is their aim lol. A 270 doesn't kick that bad and the shotgun shouldn't (you'll be shooting lighter target shells). Other than that just ask the guys. It isn't that hard to figure out, but gun guys are always more than willing to help you learn.

I'm in Blake's camp on this... hunters and shooters are extremely generous and helpful with their knowledge.

As for worrying about flinching, maybe put a few rounds through a .22 rimfire first before moving up to the .270 or the Remmie?

Don't overcompensate the kickback by holding the rifle too softly. Put the butt square into your shoulder. Don't tighten up or the tension will cause you to feel the recoil that much more.

I went hunting with my uncle in Connecticut when I was a kid and we always used his 30-06 or his Marlin 30-30.

He taught me the value of stiff arming the with your weak arm instead of tightening the shoulder.

Happy hunting brother.

Thanks guys
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
